If I just get my hair cut...it's only $15.00

When I get highlights...it's $55.00

Oh, god, I'd have nightmares! I could eat for a month on $50!

I didn't know they still made those, or I would.

Three dollars?! I paid a lot more than that when I got a buzz cut.

my question is...how in the hell does the person who cuts his hair make a living?

Couldn't you do a buzz cut yourself? I dunno, a haircut just doesn't seem like something I ought to have to spend more than about five bucks on. Especially since I don't have them do that much **** to it.

I'm a horrible tightwad in a lot of ways. I used the same bottle of shampoo for a year and a half.

How, may I ask, is that even possible? Did you go to Costcos and buy a vat of it?

I honestly don't know. It was a rather large bottle, but not overwhelmingly so. But the same thing happened to me in college. I used the same bottle of shampoo for an entire year, even though I washed my hair every day. And it wasn't even that big a bottle. The only thing I can figure is that I keep my hair cut short enough that I don't use that much shampoo.

I seem to remember a Seinfeld episode about this...

It's a barber school.

I love that you would get a 3 dollar haircut. I think it is fcking brilliant.

I am partial to body wash. Specifically anything that smells like oatmeal, almond, or sandalwood. I love those scents!

Thank you.

I've become obssessed with getting my expenses down as low as possible...under $1,000 a month would be ideal. Unfortunately, that isn't going to be possible until after my car is paid off.

Spending only $3 on a haircut would really be great. If I could only stop spending so much on food, I'd be golden.

I usually pay about $15 at great clips. It works for me.

I can relate. I love bargains, and I have stopped spending $$$ on things I can get much cheaper. My hair place kept raising their prices until they were up to $35 plus tip. Have you guys seen my hair? Poker straight, it's not like it's complicated to cut it correctly. I switched to another place, she charged me $11 & gave me a better cut than they had been doing. I am happy.

No it doesn't. I keed, I keed!

I've spent good money on hair care products but I've never found anything that works better than this with my hair. I got my hair cut last week and the guy cutting my hair make a comment about my hair being healthy.

I looooove that stuff. One of my favorites.

I used to be a shampoo addict. Like, hardcore. Right now, I only have... four different kinds of shampoo and four different conditioners in my shower, and that's been cut down majorly from what it used to be. I use the expensive stuff. My hair is really thick, has weird texture in different places, and is really long, and the regular stuff just does not have the same effect the good stuff does. I am devoted to Redken's All Soft shampoo.

I always spend about $50 on a haircut, but I get it cut so rarely. It's long, and I have split ends, but it never looks shaggy. It grows into a cut really well. It's probably been about five or six months since I've even gotten a trim, but I've had people ask if I'd gotten it cut in the last couple of weeks.

I am such a product whore. I would probably creep out people if I listed what was in my shower.

You wouldn't creep me out, I assure you. My sister and I call ourselves the Toiletry Whores. Years ago when I was young and broke, I would be staaaarving, but had fabulous hair. LOL
